To do this, we analyzed temporal trends from 1968 to 2007 in the mean center of biomass, mean depth, mean temperature of occurrence, and area occupied in each of 36 fish stocks. Temporal trends in distribution were compared to time series of both local- and large-scale environmental variables, as well as estimates of survey abundance. Many stocks spanning several taxonomic groups, life-history strategies, and rates of fishing exhibited a poleward shift in their center of biomass, m…

Such changes in fish distributions can occur at large scales as a consequence of environmental climate drivers, or they could result from local factors such as habitat quality and prey availability.
“Such changes in fish distributions can occur at large scales as a consequence of environmental climate drivers (Nye et al. 2009, Pinsky & Fogarty 2012), or they could result from local factors such as habitat quality and prey availability (e.g.Caddy 1993, Craig 2012).”

Within Chesapeake Bay and other coastal systems, several studies have linked climatic variables with patterns in fish populations and community metrics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
